You could also argue that the last governments policy of uncontrolled immigration was for the same purpose....to increase the Labour party's voting base.
Getting people welfare dependent was also another one of these cynical ploys too....you are far more likely to vote for someone that you think will allow you to continue to draw money from the social fund than someone who will rein in social security spending.
Both of which, have been unmitigated disasters for this country.
It makes no sense at all to have more people funded by the taxpayer, being unproductive and contributing nothing.
Some of the people claiming benefits, have
paid nothing at all into the system which they expect to support them...that isn't socialism.....it is insanity.
I support none of the political parties, they are all worthless...treat the electorate like they haven't two brain cells to spark off...and tell us one thing(whatever they think we want to hear - but how would they know as they never listen to the public) they govern by sound bites and spin, have no backbone...as you can see the current political system leaves me very jaundiced and more than a bit cynical.
